Milford Sound Scenic Helicopter Flight From Te Anau

Experience the majestic beauty of Milford Sound on a breathtaking scenic helicopter flight from Te Anau with two unforgettable alpine landings. Lifting off from a lakeside helipad, follow the shores of Lake Te Anau to your first alpine landing at Mt Skelmorlie. Take a moment to admire the famous Milford Track and Clinton Valley before returning to the helicopter for a flight over the remote Wick Mountains and Lake Icebergs.

As you circle the fiord, views of Mitre Peak and Milford Sound begin to unfold as you soar high over McKinnon Pass. Land at Lake Quill, the second alpine landing of the tour located in a hanging alpine valley that feeds the famous Sutherland Falls. Returning to Te Anau, the 1 hour and 45 minute helicopter flight is a fantastic way to tick Milford Sound off your travel bucket list covering remote locations that can only be seen from the air!
